With miniBB 2.0 series and Signature solution, based on "user info in posts" conception of miniBB 2, you can allow your members to attach signatures to the every message they post. When user changes signature, it is automatically changed in all posts. You can allow or disallow BB codes in signatures, also program any formatting function for the signature straight in the PHP code provided.

I installed it and it works, but for some reason, when I go to a profile, a number 7 appears in the textbox for the signature. I looked around and can't find a number 7 anywhere in any of the templates?

i integrated miniBB with and existing user data from a free personals site. at the beginning i diseabled userupdateprofile and newuserregistration options... so all users data should be edited on the personals site.

then, i installed the avatar addon, so i had to active the usereditprofile, but.. i didnt want users to change any of their data trought miniBB so i deleted almost all fields from user_data_form.html, there just appear user's name (at readonly-mode) and the option for the avatar stuff.. works pretty fine.

now i have installed the signature solution, and when you want to edit youre signature it says email doesnt match with the existing one.. i guess signatures doesnt work independent of all the other (deleted) form fields as Avatar add on does. so i added the mail field again.. and the same error appears.. i dont know what to do.. any ideas?

Probably, you have messed some field numbers in $dbUserSheme. Check this again, please - number 7 could be taken from another table field.

Yes, email is the field that must be filled in, if you enable profile. Signatures are not the reason here. But - I have tried to leave Login, Email and Signatures fields in a profile form, and it works fine with my 2.0 RC3a release.

i fixed it, it was something in setup_options.php... the email field (i added it again) were showing the user's ip, not it's email... i changed it and signature worked fine.

but, now i have other problem, avatars arent showed in the forums, but they are showed at the users preferences, i checked for bb_function_vthreard.php and all its in its place, i dont now what to do, i didnt touch any of the avatars add on codes.. i wonder if theres a kind of incompatibility?

and other thing, when a user selects an avatar form the existing gallery, nothing happens... i just get a white screen. if i get back (using the browser buttons) to the preferences, i can see the "new" avatar.. but, i think i should display something when u select it, right?

well, i have been really trying to make the avatar work, with no success..

i have just uninstalled the signature solution and avatars are showed fine in the threads, now i'll check step by step when avatars disappear and tell you.

i noticed all was in setup_options.php, i read the readme.txt from the signature solution and focus in:

==================================

Edit setup_options.php and in "$userInfoInPosts" array, specify signatures field:

$userInfoInPosts=array($dbUserSheme['user_custom2'][1]);

(if you are using additional user info in post, just ADD new array element, do not paste this code exactly).

==================================

and finally get i had to do write:

$userInfoInPosts=array('user_custom1',$dbUserSheme['user_custom2'][1]) ;

and i wrote:

$userInfoInPosts=array('user_custom1');
$userInfoInPosts=array($dbUserSheme['user_custom2'][1]);

haha.. what a newbie mistake... =(

well, all works pretty beautiful, but dont forget the other stuff:

when a user selects an avatar form the existing gallery, nothing happens... i just get a white screen. if i get back (using the browser buttons) to the preferences, i can see the "new" avatar.. but, i think i should display something when u select it, right?

any ideas?

Why don't you try not this:

$userInfoInPosts=array('user_custom1');
$userInfoInPosts=array($dbUserSheme['user_custom2'][1]);

but simply this:

$userInfoInPosts=array('user_custom1','user_custom2');

yeah, i earned a byte from setup_options.php =)

what about..

when a user selects an avatar form the existing gallery, nothing happens... i just get a white screen. if i get back (using the browser buttons) to the preferences, i can see the "new" avatar.. but, i think i should display something when u select it, right?

?

header("Location: https://www.minibb.com/forums/{$indexphp}action=prefs#avatar");

this relocation is happening when you choose avatar. If you see a blank page, probably, relocation could not be done. Check addon_avatar.php and be sure there are no spaces or newlines before <?php or after ?> tag.

oh, yeah..

dont know when, but i translated "Location" to other languaje.. that's why it didnt reconize it.

thanks. =)

Is there a way for an upload function with this, like you have with the avatar addon?

How to add more than 255 characters in signature? I edited the script in user data form but it won't add more than that!
Is there any way to add more?

Don't forget to update mySQL table to have 'text' type field instead of 'varchar(255)'.
README describes it well.
